Exchange in Premise
How does exchange shape the core premise of this civilization?
Why this lens matters
Exchange includes money, gifts, favours, knowledge, attention, trust, stories and obligations—what moves through society and why.
Follow-ups
- Who gives, receives, owes or profits?
- Is exchange commercial, ritual, informal or forbidden?
- What cannot be bought?
- What debts or obligations remain?
- What black markets or gift economies emerge?
Perspective shift
How would someone new to this society misunderstand the exchange?
Perturbation
What changes when exchange breaks down, accelerates or becomes unequal?
Example
Use this while working on the central premise or world rule: choose one concrete detail and ask how exchange changes what it means.
